5 WWE Superstars elevated by their managers

#4. The Miz and Maryse were a memorable pairing

Following his run as WWE Champion, which saw him headline WrestleMania 27, The Miz largely floundered for the next 5 years.

The Cleveland native even admitted to losing confidence during this rough patch. It wasn't until he was managed by his wife, Maryse, that he re-emerged as a credible force in WWE.

The pair even had a memorable 2016 run as one of SmackDown's most crucial acts. They went on to have a tag-team match against John Cena and Nikki Bella at WrestleMania 33.

#3. Paul Heyman helped Big Show win the WWE title and return to prominence

When Big Show debuted in WWE, he was expected to follow in the footsteps of Andre The Giant.

However, despite being booked strongly, Big Show eventually fell out of favor and was sent to OVW in 2000 to improve his cardiovascular fitness.

Upon his return the following year, the South Carolina native struggled to return to the main event picture. That was until he was paired with Paul Heyman, who complimented 'The World's Largest Athlete' wonderfully.

During a WWE Championship match between Brock Lesnar and Big Show at Survivor Series 2002, Heyman turned on 'The Next Big Thing' and helped Big Show claim the title.
